DR. WHITE BRAINY PITCHER.
Chicago Americana' Heaver Relies oo
Head as Well as Arm to Win.
A successful pitcher of the Doc
White type relies more on his head
than bis arm. Of course, like the Chi
cago Americans' twlrler, his arm must
bo able to follow the dictates of his
mind, and on this alono depends his
success. White's pitching when close
lv studied becomes an art He Is al
ways playing for the percentage to be

Cubs'
Outfielder Works Pitchers For
Bases on Balls.
Edward Payson Weston can walk
some. So can Miller Hugglns, as Na
tional league pitchers will tell you.
But there Is another heel and toe
artist In the National leaguo who nsks
a share of your attention. Ho Is
James Tilden Sheckard. lead-off man
for the Chicago Cubs.
Sheckard Is not built according to
approved models of men hard to pitch
to. Ho is no midget, but when it
comes to Judging a ball to a halrllno
nnd outguessing pitchers he Is there,
as his baseball record shows. Coupled
with his ability to swat safely when
ho actually gets into a bole, Jimmy Is
a terror to the pitchers.
Since the passing of Steinfeldt, Kllng
and Chanco ho can bo considered one
of the veterans of the Cub machine,

chances with Elberfeld, a right hand
ed hitter, so ho tried to mako him hit
at a wide one, wlththe result that he
finally hit him and filled the bases.
This put Gessler, a left handed hitter,
tip, and ho was disposed of on elrlkcs.
White, like all heady pitchers, never
pitches a ball without a purpose. He
may err now and then, but when he
Is being bit it is because the batters
are outguessing him.
When pitchers with long years of
service are painted Doc White must
not be forgotten. Left handers nro
not supposed to last long, and yet
White is seeing hjs twelfth season of
service, and In every one of them he
has been a star.
Nothing Is so nauseating to the ball t
Dlaver as the pestiferous fan who in- I
slsts upon talking to and making the j SHECKARD IS GREAT LEAD-OFF
acquaintance of every pill tosser. The
bug who calls the ball player by his first
namo on the street is never liked by
the exponent of the national pastime.
On tho contrary, ho Is despised. The
traveling man who butts Into tho ball
players' conversation in tho hotel lob
by is lucky to get away without his
facial architecture materially changed
But so long as the baseball Is the na.
tlonal game bo long will the ball play
ers be pestered by tho bugs.
We know of one instance where a
great young plnyer gave up u lucrative
position on the diamond because he
couldn't stand to bo tho target for nn
endless amount of lnano questions shot
bis way by the Idol worshipers. Tho
player in question was Vincent Camp
bell, who lately returned to 'the Pitts
burg club.
Campbell quit baseball at the windup
of tho 1010 season, after ho had made
one of tho greatest records of any
young fielder in tho game, simply be
cause he was obliged to talk "shop"
everywhere ho went during tho win
ter. Whether In a cafe, ballroom,
drawing room or on the streets, Camp
bell's friends invariably made baseball
the solo topic of conversation when he
was around. It seemed as though
these "friends" figured that unless
they talked baseball they would not
make n "hit" witn Mr. uampoen.
Now, quite tho contrary is true. Had
they talked of reciprocity, of which
Campbell knows little, ho would havo ,
been Infinitely more pleased. i
Or had they talked about logarithms I
or anything else but baseball Vln
would be much more nt home. j
Campbell Is not an exception. Rath-
er ho Is the rule. nan piayers
never want to talk "shop." They never
want to discuss "today's game," es
pecially witli a man who is not a play
er. Occasionally a ball player will
become much enthused with n base
ball argument If some technical point
of the game is involved. If he can talk
with a man who can converse intelli
gently on the great game ho is pleased,
but there are so few who really know
baseball that a player Is taking a
chance all tho time.
. Fred Clarke, manager of the Pirates, I
was driven to an obscure farm in Kan-
i sas by the pestiferous fan. Most ball 1
players who realize that they can
make a bit of money out of baseball
' hike to a farm in tho off season slra-
ply to avoid tho talkative bug. Many
, players like Campbell quit the game
rather than bo pesterea to death wltn
the lifeless arguments of their alleged
friends and admirers.
When Campbell was requested to
rejoin the Pirates In St Louis recent
ly lie was asked why he didn't report
nt tho start of the season.
"Didn't you like your contract?" said
Clarke to the young broker.
"Yes," was Campbell's reply.
"Well, didn't you. like the players?"
continued Clarke.
"Yes," was Campbell's answer.
"What's the matter, then?" demand
ed Clarke.
"Well," said Campbell, "I can't staijd
to bo talking baseball all winter."
"That's my fix exaetly," said Clarke.
"I can't stand tho bugs, so every win
ter I hike away to a farm in Kansas.
Tho fans havo driven me to that farm,
for I refuse to have my peace of mind
upset all winter."
